Lykalis has a new obsession: a bewitching man carrying secrets stained in blood. But is he worth less than the safety of her kingdom? Or is he worth more than she could ever imagine?

                                                    *****

The King and Queen have been murdered and eighteen-year-old Heiress Lykalis Vasoraki is to take her Aunt's title and be crowned in the palace of Kolteo, where people with the wings of crows and ravens dwell. Before her coronation ceremony can ensue, she pursues the killer and finds herself on a grueling path to the Kingdom of Sidiem, a territory of wolves and foxes. There, she bears witness to a brutal death, and a Royal investigation transpires. She teams up with the Heir of Sidiem and finds a list of evidence that consequently leads them to a jewelry company, one which hides something terribly sinister. An alluring man with mismatched eyes catches Lykalis's attention and she finds herself entwined with the fate of a broken man who knows more about killing then he does about living.

                                                    *****

Excerpt:

"Don't lie to me." She sneered, smacking her hand against the floor. "Don't lie-"

His eyes snapped to her as anger flashed between them.

"You were like starlight, like-like the constellations had fallen together in order to create you, as if you were personally molded by the gods themselves." He pressed. "Your spirit glowed like the only light across a sea of barren land- you. . .you're spirit was the only one that felt like. . ."

That is until an unexpected visitor gives him hope for the life he's only dreamt of. Can they keep the demons coming from every direction from breaking down the walls?

A disinherited princess and a kingdom on the verge of ruin. The birth of twins were once a joyous occasion in Vequera but in the year 602 C.E, it was anything but. A first-born daughter with a golden eye and a second-born son. The realm feared what the daughter would be capable of. None knew of her power or what she would do in the future if she became queen, so the throne was given to the second son in hopes he would save their house from possible ruin. Over the course of her life, she was neglected by her mother for being different like the "demons of the west." She began to harden as the years passed her by and the abuse she endured intensified until one day, she snapped, killing someone. The queen sends her away in order to keep the nobles at bay but little did she know that her decision to do so would cause the fall of everything she held dear. The fall of Vequera.

A Dance in the Dark (Book 1) by JhulyxOliveira

[ magic, romance and madness. ] Everyone knew that a romance between a guardian and their protégé always ended in tragedy - yet they risked it. One day, I read that in real-life fairy tales, the princess sometimes needs to befriend the dragon and kill the prince, perhaps not to the most extreme extent, considering the prince's utility. (*Wink*). Twenty years had passed since the demise of the last living descendant bearing the bloodline of a potent family within the mystical realm. Individuals who possessed magic more formidable than anyone could have fathomed and that very magic could be pilfered if they were to meet an untimely end-a rumour ignited like wildfire. Word began to spread about the sole surviving member of the Lysion family, the last vestige of a lineage renowned for their blessings from the gods (or, as some argue, their curses), once no more than bedtime tales for children. Two decades earlier, a game of hide and seek unfolded that culminated in the death of the final Lysion at the hands of Oldo Blake, a formidable figure in the annals of history. Or so the story goes. An obscure girl. A concealed secret. A relentless pursuit. With a motley crew of bewildering Other Siders on her trail and an absolute dearth of knowledge on how to harness her precious magic, Rosélina Johnson's life transformed from that of an inconspicuous university student to that of a fugitive in the mystic realm, utterly unprepared for what lay ahead.

Enslaved to Icarus (The Pariah Book 1) by shaziyakhanwrites

"The curse entailed that only the blood that sought yours, can free you of the curse, until then you shall be asleep." Icarus smirked at her words, he knew where this was going as she continued, "Because your blood is-" "Poisonous and repulsive." She nodded. "So, it's unbelievable that she was the one whose blood sought yours, a human, but it did, or perhaps it was your blood that sought hers...," she mulled over it. "But it's wrong, against the natural-" she observed his gaze. Talking about some natural order of the universe was not something that would befit his ears, given that he was the very example of the abomination formed against the natural laws and order of the blood. ~~ No one knew who he was, or where he came from? But he did, and he conquered all the existing realms, hidden and not so hidden from the human world, and built his kingdom upon the ruins of his enemies. Yet, he remained a pariah. Always was. Always will be. He was Icarus. The Monster. The Legend. The Evil. The Pariah. ~~ Everyone knew her to be a scared little kitten. She looked like one too with her snowy white hair, cerulean blue eyes, and a questionable fate. ~~ What was supposed to be a ridiculous adventure, suggested by her equally ridiculous brave friend turned her life into a whirlwind of crazy and bloody, when she stumbled and accidentally awakened the sleeping, ravenous, and absolutely psychotic monster, Icarus. What made her the lucky woman to jostle him out of his centuries of sleep? As a thanks, she was rewarded with the title of being his most beloved SLAVE. Dive into their journey as we unravel their ribbons of fate, and immerse ourselves into their complicated relationship. ~~ This book is a dark fantasy romance novel and Icarus is an original fantasy character that I created. He is not a vampire or a werewolf but something entirely new and interesting.

(Tainted Series:1) **Four merciless rulers of the underworld. A mafia heiress thrown into a perilous game of power and betrayal. Her resilience will be tempered in the fires of darkness.** Svetlana~ Returning to Russia on my twenty-fourth birthday, I am confronted with a reality beyond my darkest fears. My father's revelation strikes like a thunderbolt-my destiny entwined with the most ruthless mafia lords of our era. Four men who command the shadows with an iron fist. Four tyrants who inspire fear and obedience wherever they tread. Four sovereigns who believe I am their possession to claim. **"In the realm of shadows, only the boldest survive. I will not be tamed."** As the daughter of a revered Russian family, I was meant to be sheltered from the brutalities of the criminal world. But now, I find myself at the center of a deadly game, where power and passion collide. They see me as their trophy, a symbol of their unchallenged supremacy. But they have underestimated my spirit. **"The darkness respects only those who challenge its reign."** My journey is a tapestry of ambition and defiance, woven with threads of loyalty and insurgency. They aim to subjugate me, to manipulate me as a pawn in their sinister dance of dominance. Yet, I refuse to be a passive player-I am the catalyst that will ignite the flames of change. In this labyrinth of deceit and power, I will forge my own destiny. I will not merely endure; I will rise. This is not a tale of submission and control-it is the saga of a woman ascending to her rightful place in a world governed by men.
